Metagenome-based surveillance and diagnostic approaches to studying the microbial ecology of food production and processing environments

Conor J Doyle, Paul W O'Toole, Paul D Cotter
Metagenomic-based analyses have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of the microbiology of food production and processing environments. By adopting such approaches it will be possible to more accurately determine sources of microbial contamination, identify critical control points for such contaminants, and select practices that optimise quality and safety. This mini-review will discuss the merits of adopting metagenostic-based approaches, highlight novel insights that they have provided to date and consider how they could be further implemented.
